Mass. woman killed, infant removed from her womb

WORCESTER, Mass. 
Police in central Massachusetts are trying to figure out who killed an expectant mother, removed a fetus from her womb and dumped her body in a closet. The fetus is missing.

Darlene Haynes was about eight months pregnant when she was last seen alive. Her body was discovered Monday after her landlord went to check on a report of a strong odor coming from her apartment in Worcester (WUS'-tur), New England's second-largest city.

Police say the 23-year-old Haynes was found wrapped in bedding. An autopsy shows her fetus was removed.

Police say the missing infant could survive but would need medical attention immediately.
